Celtics' Jermaine O'Neal earns flagrant foul for shove on James Jones

Associated PressJermaine O'Neal delivered a forearm shiver to former teammate James Jones.

With one forearm shiver from Jermaine O'Neal, the Miami Heat stole the momentum from the surging Boston Celtics. Boston had whittled down a 19-point Miami lead to just nine points, when O'Neal was whistled for a flagrant foul for bumping James Jones, who was cutting through the paint.

Jones sunk both of the free throws he was awarded and then Michael Bibby canned a 3-pointer from the top of the key on the ensuing possession. A nine-point lead had grown to 14 points in the blink of an eye and Miami regained control of the game.

Jones and O'Neal were teammates last season when O'Neal played for the Heat. Jones has a Heat playoff-record for points from a bench player with 23 points.
